  • Those that were lucky enough to be born into stability get upset when reality intrudes on their life. They blame everyone but themselves and enjoy the pain and suffering of others they blame for it.

    as i mentioned in another comment, this is literally the magatrump mindset.

    His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

    and you’re talking about

    I bet he hasn’t once cared for some ex employee of his in any tangible way

    inserting the assumption that the author has actually had employees. why is that? for that matter, why are so many employers trump voters? obviously: money.

    you’re right in that they’ve stolen the “conservative” label and made it synonymous with fascism. “conservative” as a valid stance deserving of regard and consideration died with john mccain. now they’re all fucking trumpcult fascists with zero redeeming qualities.

    i don’t know what to tell you. talk to your “conservative” friends and try to convince them that trump is a sack of worthless shit who’s ruining the country and the world?

    good luck











  • lol “heart of the car” gtfo

    rear view cameras are nice (though unnecessary), but literally NOTHING else about “infotainment” is worth the extra cost. you think it is because you’ve been convinced you just simply can’t survive without it, and cars can’t even exist without it. why? because $$$

    fuck outta my face with that shit

    so, my takeaway from all this is that toyota is still the best way to go if you for some reason just have to buy a “infotainment” car

    AI storytelling is an amalgam of several different narratives, including:

    Inevitability: AI is the future; its eventual supremacy is both imminent and certain, and therefore anyone who doesn’t want to be left behind had better embrace the technology. See Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, insisting earlier this year that every job in the world will be impacted by AI “immediately.”

    Functionality: AI performs miracles, and the AI products that have been released to the public wildly outperform the products they aim to replace. To believe this requires us to ignore the evidence obtained with our own eyes and ears, which tells us in many cases that the products barely work at all, but it’s the premise of every TV ad you watch out of the corner of your eye during a sports telecast.

    Grandiosity: The world will never be the same; AI will change everything. This is the biggest and most important story AI companies tell, and as with the other two narratives, big tech seems determined to repeat it so insistently that we come to believe it without looking for any evidence that it’s true.

    As far as I can make out, the scheme is essentially: Keep the ship floating for as long as possible, keep inhaling as much capital as possible, and maybe the tech will get somewhere that justifies the absurd valuations, or maybe we’ll worm our way so far into the government that it’ll have to bail us out, or maybe some other paradigm-altering development will fall from the sky. And the way to keep the ship floating is to keep peddling the vision and to seem more confident that the dream is inevitable the less it appears to be coming true.

    speaking for myself, MS can thank AI for being the thing that made me finally completely ditch windows after using it 30+ years
